DESCRIPTION:
Untouched and undisturbed. In extraordinarily well-preserved overall antique condition and outstanding in every way. Truly magnificent and nearly unblemished. From the
Wabanaki
people,
Northeast Woodland Native Americans'
hands to yours. In simply incredible condition and very unusual to find a
Native American
hand made sewing basket with an affixed printed image attached flawlessly and woven to the top of the lid cover. The spiral threaded patterning and the dyed berry red sweet grass accent weaving, makes this diminutive
Native American
sewing basket an especially fancy and a highly considered one and an extraordinary example of antique, period late 19th to early 20th century
Native
weaving and basketry. More beautiful than beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. It's exceptionally unusual and a rare occurrence to encounter these antique, period hand woven
Native American
baskets, be they large or small, in this kind of nearly immaculate, pristine condition, with the sweet grass unbroken and undisturbed. Very fine.
CONDITION:
Very Good to Good overall antique condition.
